Goliath 2.3 & 2.4

Julio, friend of mayoral candidate, is now liability for her.  She is having an affair with Billy, but Billy is on to her reluctance to help him help Julio. He smells a rat. He also gets the head of the "real" murderer delivered to him in a box. Corrupt cop has to decide whether to do time or risk being killed by cartel. LA developer and pervert (likes to masturbate watching people with missing limbs .  . . YIKES!) is also in the crosshairs of the cartel. However, the cop's buddy who seems so under control . . . he might be the one to get it.

Billy's daughter lives alone in a huge house through all this.  Hello, Billy--the cartel might just go after her! Brittany, the para-pro ex-prostitute is being played by the real estate developer. She betrayed Billy in the last season, she just might do it again.

Tragic in that the two, if Angel could just see clearly, would indeed be a great couple, each adding to the other.  Nature as a definite force involved in the tragedy.  It's not neutral--when things go bad, the very skies mock Tess. Tess as unaware of the power of her bea...

Peace treaty with England (Amiens) in March 1802, with Turkey in June 1802 . . . flawed peace treaty with England because there was no opening up of France for trade with England, infuriating the English who thought peace would mean trade. . . tourism, though--Brits come to Paris and admire Napoleon . . . British liberals enamored . . . Napoleon "consul for life" . . . lots of unsettled territories, Switzerland being the largest . . . Industrialization much greater in England than France . . . France in 1802 is about the same as England in 1780 as a manufacturing center . . . Napoleon is basically Anglophobic, complaining of any art work that celebrates English victories being shown in Louvre . . . peace unraveling . . . by 1803 . . .  War May 18, 1803! . . . Louisiana Territory sold, advantageous to both parties.  France gets money; USA gets land.  France avoids possible war with ...
